Hi Guys,

I have noticed some discrepancies in the counties in the UK, in the address dropdown field when registering. ie some counties are missing, and then some towns are listed as counties. Can someone please tell me where this info is stored, so that I can change it.

Secondly, when registering and adding your address, the default country that comes up is France. Is there anywhere that I change this, so that it defaults to the UK??

Many thanks,

Gunter.

You can modify all the zones via the menu System->Zones in your backend.

For the default country and state, you can go in the menu Display->Custom fields to edit the fields default value.

Many thanks, I have found everything I need to change.

Is it possible that you guys update the counties for your next release? I have noticed quite a few errors in there.

Cheers,

Gunter.

The updated counties list for the UK are not show up (buiness 1.5.2):

Berkshire
Borders
Buckinghamshire
Londonderry
Tyrone
Dumbarton
Dyfed
Glamorgan
Grampian
Greater Manchester
Gwent
Middlesex
Merseryside
North West Highlands
South Yorkshire
Tayside
Tyne and Wear
West Midlands
West Yorkshire

They are entered in the #__hikashop_zone_link table but there is nothing for them in the #__hikashop_zone table. They are in the update.php file so I presume something has gone wrong with the update.

Okay resolved the problem by substituting in the helper.php file INSERT IGNORE for REPLACE and running the update again.

Yes, for updates we don't force the new data as some users might be fine with the old data. Another easy solution is just to remove the entries in both the jos_hikashop_zone and jos_hikashop_zone_link tables via phpmyadmin and install again the package via the joomla manager. That will put back all the zones with the proper UK counties.
